Kyle Carter and Madison Park at the Bromont CCI*** First Horse Inspection
It’s always a pleasure to catch up with Kyle and Jennifer Carter, and the extra day here at Bromont has meant we’ve had a little extra time to spend chatting which has been a lovely bonus. Five Ring Eventing have made the long trip up to Canada from Ocala, Florida with their two daughters, their comeback kid Parker in the CCI***, and two students, Venezuelan Elena Cebellos and Casey Dannehower. The Carters recently put their Ocala property on the market, and when I first saw the news I was worried at first that things might not all be well, or that they might be relocating to Kyle’s native Canada, but as he explained, it’s all part of an exciting master plan.

At the First Horse Inspection on Wednesday Kyle wore his ‘lucky tie’ that his older daughter Riley gave him a couple of years ago at a school function; he’s worn it at every Horse Inspection since then and he’s yet to be spun, but more recently she gave him a purple one, her favourite colour, so he told me he plans to wear that on Sunday, provided he gets that far, he added quickly, nervous of jinxing himself!

Many thanks to the Carters for chatting, and wishing them the very best of luck this weekend, and with the sale of their farm. Go Five Ring Eventing!
